Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Premieres Today

Microsoft and 343 Industries announced the series premiere of the live-action digital series, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, is launching today on Halo Waypoint. The digital series will lead up to the launch of the Halo 4 video game.
 

    Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn tells a story of heroism and sacrifice on a scale never before seen in the Halo universe, taking fans back to the beginning of the human and Covenant war, and leading into the events of Halo 4. Set against the backdrop of a United Nations Space Command (UNSC) military academy, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn follows a group of cadets who are training to be the next generation of soldiers in the UNSC’s ongoing war with insurrectionists in the outer colonial planets. Among these cadets, Thomas Lasky struggles with his doubts about the war, and with the burden of expectations he may not be able to carry. As Lasky comes to terms with his potential as a military leader, the terrifying alien alliance known as the Covenant arrives and turns his world upside down. Inspired by the Master Chief, he must decide what it means to be a hero. Halo fans who experience Lasky’s origin story in Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn will be rewarded with special insights into the story of Halo 4 and the Halo Infinity Multiplayer experience. The story will unfold weekly through a series of five episodes, setting the stage for the worldwide launch of Halo 4 on November 6th.

LEVEL-5 Announces Three Games for eShop

LEVEL-5, best known for their Layton video game series and the upcoming game Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, is bringing three of the studio’s most popular Japanese-only releases to North America this Fall via the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS. The three titles – Liberation Maiden, Aero Porter and Crimson Shroud – were previously released only in Japan as part of Guild01, a multi-game pack.

Additional details about North American release dates and pricing for each of the titles will be released soon.

 

    Liberation Maiden is a full-scale 3D sci-fi shooter created by developer Goichi Suda, better known as SUDA51, from Grasshopper Manufacture, creators of Lollipop Chainsaw, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned and many more. Set 100 years in the future in New Japan, Liberation Maiden puts players in the role of Shoko Ozora, piloting a humanoid robot called Kamui.

    Aero Porter combines puzzle elements with a simulation of airport operations. Designed by Seaman creator Yoot Saito, the player sorts color-coded luggage onto conveyor belts while avoiding mishaps and delays. Players are also able to design and share their own planes with a wide range of colors and patterns.

    Crimson Shroud was created by game designer Yasumi Matsuno, whose previous works include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Tactics Ogre. Crimson Shroud is a new RPG that reimagines the table top RPG, and puts the power of the dice in the player’s hands to determine their fates.
